Iceland_Blue, I say this in the spirit of nothing but support and trying to help you help yourself - feeling sorry for yourself never helps anybody, with any condition. Check out “Desiderata” - it has some excellent advice for living, part of which is “If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.” Basically it’s saying tend to your own knitting, and be grateful for what you’ve got, instead of envious of what everyone else seems to have.
Weird. I was taught that too and completely forgot about it until just now. Is that something that has officially been done away with or has it just fallen out of popular use?
Two spaces was the standard with typewriters. Typesetting equipment with variable spacing for the characters used one. When word processors began replacing typewriters, the two-space rule began to dissolve.
Two spaces will never die! See? Two spaces!

Ahh, makes sense now. I went to county schools. We couldn’t afford things like air conditioning, clean water, and cohmpyooterz.
I’m afraid that makes no sense. It is highly unlikely that you were taught to type that way, unless you were taught by a cross-eyed Ferengi. Plus, your posts have gaps anyway since you space between each word. The reason they look weird is because they are missing gaps after the punctuation.
I’m not sure what maybe epilepsy is, either you have a seizure disorder or you don’t, right? If you’re having seizures, and they aren’t caused by an identifiable source like a food allergy or drug reaction, for instance, then you’ve got a seizure disorder. Is the maybe part coming from not knowing whether you’re having seizures or not knowing why you’re having them?
One more question, if you’d be so kind as to indulge my curiousity. Who told you that mood swings are symptomatic of Asperger’s? A
symptom list here doesn’t list mood swings, my child’s been diagnosed with Asperger’s and I’ve not heard of that particular symptom, so what am I missing?

If you physically/emotionally/whathaveyou need this reassurance and support, you need to get it from a stable, reliable source. It’s probably overstating things, but an anonymous message board is never going to fill that gap for you.
It’s true, some people do find comfort and friendship here, but you can’t count on it. $14.95 just doesn’t get you that kind of therapy.
I do believe you have a potential sigline there, dear. 
Curses!
Your kid just might not have mood swings as part of his Aspergers. I’ve got one kid with AS who most certainly does have mood swings and one kid with AS who doesn’t. It’s not a core symptom but it’s part of the syndrome. I know other kids who have mood swings as well as part of their presentation.
I’ve been told that his mood swings are part of his Aspergers/PDD NOS/HFA by paeds, devleopmental paed, psychiatrists and psychologists so it seems to be pretty well established as part of the syndrome. Granted we haven’t ruled out bipolar absolutely and utterly but it wasn’t used as a rule out/ rule in symptom if that makes sense even when he was rapid cycling.
Ah HAH!!! Proof!
I always suspected you were a ganker, and now I have proof. And without a second thought, forsooth. That makes you a THOUGHTLESS Ganker. Why, I’m willing to bet you even watch “Growing Up Gotti.” [sub]Not that that has anything to do with the price of tea in Brooklyn, but I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past a thoughtless ganker.[/sub]
For shame, Ms Sheba, for SHAME!
So that’s how you become one. I am so jealous! I wanna get a thread locked too!
“Ganked”?
I’m gettin’ old. Can’t keep up.
In this case, ‘gank’ means to steal.
If, of course, Biggirl had said she’d ganked the LJ author, that would have been something altogether more sinister. >> <<
Bravo! Well said!

I wasn’t thoughtless. I gave it one thought. ONE WHOLE THOUGHT! And I never watch Growing Up Gotti. I saw a few minutes of it once and wanted to jump into the TV and smack those boys so hard they’d come back from the future to tell me which pony’s gonna win.
Oh and Mods. Don’t ever close any of Iceland_Blue’s threads ever again, do you hear! He’s depressed and that’s just not how you treat depressed people. Depressed people get to do whatever they want, dontcha know.
Okay. So panache45 is male. Gotcha.
It’s cause you didn’t eat enough cock.
what a thread. cock suckers, jack booted mods and one-space or Two after a period. Look, a shiny spoon!
